Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Crystal Technology & Industries Stainless Steel Upright Freezer Rack for Standard 2" Boxes (Cat # UF-242). This side-access rack holds eight standard 2" freezer boxes in a 2-deep x 4-high configuration. It slides onto the shelf of an upright −20°C or −80°C freezer, and boxes are accessed from the front. Upright racks let you pull out one organized rack and reach the box you need, instead of searching through loose boxes stacked on a shelf. That shortens door-open time and helps keep freezer temperatures stable.
At 8 7/8" tall and 5 1/2" wide, the UF-242 is a versatile size for compact upright freezers, undercounter units, and partial shelves in full-size ultra-low freezers. It is made of pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel with double-welded joints for strength and long-term durability at ultra-low temperatures. All edges are smoothed for safe handling. A built-in handle makes the rack easy to pull from the freezer. Each compartment measures 5 3/8" deep x 2 3/16" high x 5 7/16" wide and accepts standard 2" cryoboxes and freezer boxes in fiberboard, cardboard, polycarbonate, or polypropylene.
The UF-242 is sold as a rack only. Storage boxes are not included, so you can use your existing 2" boxes. Pre-configured versions with 2" boxes and 81-cell or 100-cell dividers are also available. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for laboratory freezer racks and cold storage solutions.
